After a fierce battle, the candidate who replaced Yan Maoqing as the capital transfer envoy was already out, and it was Liu Tao, the left deputy chief censor.

As mentioned several times earlier, Liu Tao was a civil servant, but he was skilled in archery and horses, proficient in strategies, and led troops to fight. He had great achievements from Nanzhili to Zhejiang, and was once a strong competitor to the governor of Zhejiang, but later he was the first to be a leader.

More than two years ago, the Japanese stricken areas in the southeast had a turnaround. In addition, Tan Lun, Tang Shen and others, famous generals and strong soldiers gathered, and there was really no place for Liu Tao to perform his skills. Xu Ge Lao secretly operated, allowing Liu Tao to replace Wang Chonggu and serve as the governor of Shandong.

During his tenure, Liu Tao vigorously rectified his defense affairs and eliminated more than a dozen Japanese pirates of all sizes. The Shandong sea surface was the Qing Dynasty. Due to his outstanding military achievements, he was appreciated by Jiajing.

Just as Xu Jie lacked combat power, he transferred Liu Tao into the city and became the left deputy censor, ranking third in the Censorate. Compared with the borders of a province, Liu Tao was obviously much less powerful, and he was not happy.

But luck came, and it couldn't be stopped. Yan Maoqing was killed, and Jiajing was full of disgust towards the Yan Party's people. However, Tang Yi's people were not qualified enough, so he could only let Liu Tao go south and take charge of salt affairs.

As soon as this news came out, it was like a loss of his parents to the Southeast salt merchant who was looking forward to it, and it was almost the same as if the sky had fallen!

Liu Tao was born in Cangzhou, a hometown of martial arts, and in Yanzhao. There are many great men. Liu Tao is both civil and military, and is upright. Since he became an official, he has been leading troops to fight and has made countless achievements. He is definitely a person who does not rub the sand in his eyes. When he comes, everyone can think of some solutions, and they can do something to obey and perfunctorily.

But now, Lianghuai is already a mess, and the world is full of fat chickens waiting to be slaughtered. They stretch their necks and wait for the massacre. Will Lord Liu be polite?

Thinking of this, from Wang Lutai, all the big salt merchants were trembling with cold breath. Yan Maoqing suddenly fell and Liu Tao took over, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.

After discussion, three people were selected, Wang Lutai, Wei Jimei, and Qiao Chengtong, representing the eight major salt merchants, went to the imperial envoy headquarters to visit Tang Yi.

This time they were really honest and picked out the best treasures from the warehouses of each company. They packed ten boxes and got twenty beauties from Yangzhou and other places, and sent them to the headquarters.

In the salt merchant’s mind, there is nothing that money cannot solve. If it cannot be solved, it means that the money is not given enough!

Although you, Tang Yi, are famous, but after all, you are a young man with a strong spirit, you don’t believe that you will not be moved. They are full of momentum, but they don’t know that Tang Yi was a human being in his two lives. He was about the same age as in his forties.

People of this age have a passion for fame and fortune far beyond beauty.

In fact, Tang Yi has a delicious dish, such as Liuying, the strong woman Zhou Qinyun, and even Shen Meijun, who is completely different...

Tang Yi was always close to these people, not breaking the window paper, but he didn't refuse easily. He wanted a sweet family for couples, and also wanted a casual and elegant woman surrounded by beauty. To put it bluntly, it was just two words: **!

Of course, beauty is just a seasoning for life. Tang Yi cares more about establishing a new salt method in this way, increasing annual income. He wants to reduce salt prices, break the group of Lianghuai salt merchants, and even break down the relationship between salt merchants and Shanxi merchants...

Wu Tiancheng's ambitions make sense. As long as he takes over the Lianghuai Salt Gang, 70% of the world's wealth will fall into the pocket of the transportation industry.

At that time, with the thunderous momentum, we will break through the most stubborn fortress of the Shanxi merchants. The huge economic empire will unify the country.

Even if the wind and clouds change, you can still be as stable as a mountain and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

The future is bright, and you have to eat rice one by one, and things have to be done bit by bit. Tang Yi did not set too unrealistic goals for himself, but it did not prevent him from sowing seeds and waiting for the harvest to come.

He sat in the study room for three hours, thought about everything, then slowly got up, took a few steps, and came to the living room leisurely.

As soon as I walked in, the three people inside went crazy. They arrived before dawn and didn't even eat breakfast. They waited until noon, and their stomachs were roaring. Tang Yi just couldn't come out. He couldn't leave, and he couldn't see people. Not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

After finally Tang Yi appeared, Qiao Chengtong and Wei Jimei knelt down and cried bitterly.

"Please help me, Lord Tang, the young people are ignorant. Please give me a favor and give me a way out!"

Bang bang bang bang, keep kowtowing, my forehead is swollen.

Wang Lu was so embarrassed. He thought to himself that these two bastards were just trying to please the new master, without any loyalty. He also weakened his knees and knelt on the ground.

It was rare that Tang Yi did not make things difficult for them and waved his hand.

"You all get up and talk."

"Thank you, Lord Tang."

The three of them stood up and stood respectfully behind Tang Yi, like slaves. Tang Yi smiled slightly, "Mr. Renfu will arrive in Huai'an in ten days. I happened to hand over the errand and returned to Beijing for the New Year. I came out for more than half a year and missed home."

Renfu is Liu Tao's name, Tang Yi's tone is relaxed, and the hearts of those three people are constantly sagging. Isn't this a fatal disaster!

"Master Tang, I don't know how strong the world is. I'm offending. Please ask me to give it a message. We will definitely give it a lot!" Wang Lutai said with his head down.

Tang Yi glanced at him, and Wang Lutai was so scared that he felt shivered and sweat came out from his forehead. I don’t know if he was hungry or scared.

Sitting on the chair, Tang Yi chuckled and said, "Okay, just tell me, how do you want to repay me?"

Wei Jimei said first: "Sir, we have prepared ten boxes of gifts to show our hearts. If you can help us overcome difficulties, this is the number every year!"

As he said that, he stretched out his two fingers.

Two million taels!

There are really a lot!

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Okay, but three, you have so much trouble. I still know nothing about it. Even if the people ask for trouble, don't you tell me clearly first?"

Qiao Chengtong slapped his forehead and said hurriedly: "Look at the little memory, we have two major problems at the moment, and we need help from adults."

Tang Yi did not say anything, Qiao Chengtong said again: "First, 70% of the salt on the market are run by those salt merchants with weak power. They are cunning and cunning, and have pitiful capital. They are unable to bear the tax burden of the court. If they keep it, the salt tax will definitely be exhausted, so please ask Lord Tang to help you suppress it..."

"What else?" Tang Yi said casually.

"There are also the stove owners!" When talking about these people, Qiao Chengtong gritted his teeth, "Mr. Tang, the Taizu made a rule that their ancestors had been cooking sea for many years, but people were not satisfied with their hearts. Snakes swallowed elephants. These beasts did not work honestly, but tried to get something for nothing, stirring up the wind and rain, and their crimes were not to be punished. If they did not kill the might of the two Huai Rivers, there would never be peace!"

After he finished speaking, Wei Jimei and Wang Luta nodded frequently.

In fact, they also mentioned these two conditions to Yan Maoqing. At first, Yan Maoqing wanted to blackmail them in the name of adjusting the salt area.

Later, as soon as Tang Yi came, they quickly merged.

According to the idea of ​​Wang Lutai and the other two, as long as the benefits are given enough, Tang Yi will quickly change the level of the rank like Yan Maoqing.

The idea is very beautiful, but Tang Yi doesn't seem to be interested at all.

"Hahaha, three, you just said that small and medium-sized salt merchants have weak strength and small capital, which will destroy the salt administration, right?"

"Yes!" the three of them said in unison.

"Okay, I will invite a few friends over here and see how strong they are!"

Tang Yi snapped his fingers, and several people walked out from behind the screen. At the front was Wang Wenxian, dressed in an old farmer. His eyes were sharp and he swept at three people, as if he was looking at prey.

Following behind him was Hou Yunlai, who was not an outsider. During the Suzhou food war, Hou Yunlai was one of the managers of the four major bank accounts of Shanxi merchants.

Since that battle, Hou Yunlai's ability was questioned by Wang Chonggu and he sat on the bench. Later, he took the initiative to leave the Wang family and went to Lianghuai to start a business and operate the ticket account. After a few years, he had a little capital. There were two people following him, and they were also the owners of the ticket account.

When he saw Hou Yun coming, Wang Lu Tai was in a bad mood.

"Why are you?"

Why was he so surprised? It turned out that Yan Maoqing had blackmailed him before, and Wang Lutai didn't have enough money to save money. Thinking that Hou Yunlai was from Shanxi like him, he was considered a fellow villager, so he asked Hou Yunlai to help. Hou Yunlai didn't say anything and lent him more than seven million silver.

Wang Lutai was very grateful, but now Hou Yunlai appeared on Tang Yi's side, so Wang Lutai's mood can be imagined.

It seemed as if I was holding ice in my arms. Sanjiutian stood at the vent of the wind and was poured with a bucket of cold water on my face. From the inside to the outside, the whole thing was cool!

The teeth clattered and the whole body trembled. Looking at their embarrassing appearance, Wang Wen looked so comfortable, and his pores were opened.

The resentment of many years has finally come out, making you look down on others, how about it, this is retribution!

Wang Wenxian was not convinced by anyone, but Tang Yi was convinced by him. He really wanted to kneel down and shout long live, let him ascend the throne.

Tang Yi smiled slightly, "At present, let's explain the matter. 70% of Mr. Hou's shares are controlled by small and medium-sized salt merchants who do not have the strength in your mouth, and those like Wang Wenxian. In other words, they are all your creditors. Therefore, it is useless to bribe the official with money and beauty. The creditors who really deserve to be repaid are them!"

Rumble!

The thunder sounded, and Wang Lutai and the other three were burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and the bones were numb and trembled all over, and they knelt down directly.

Tang Yi completed another beautiful shift of the universe in the past time. Wu Tiancheng found Hou Yunlai and took him under his command. Through him, he borrowed loans to Wang Lutai and others. As for the source of the money, it was the secret salt gain during this period.

In other words, small and medium-sized salt merchants and stove households gave salt to Wang Lutai and others, and then used the earned silver to transport it, lent money to Wang Lutai and others, and continued to buy salt.

Now that Wang Lutai and the others have only piles of salt left in their hands, and Wang Wenxian and others have become their real creditors!

The strength of strength will be reversed instantly.

Wang Wen looked proud and crossed his legs and sneered: "Don't you three look down on us? Are you going to arrest people? OK, come if you have the ability!"

Wang Lu Tai looked at each other, his face flushed with shame. He secretly looked at Tang Yi, who was calm and gentle. Wang Lu Tai was crying, you are so calculating! (To be continued.)
